Abstract

A press to fit pipe connector tool including a handle assembly and a pressing assembly. The handle assembly includes a first tubular element and a second tubular element. The pressing mechanism includes a first pressing element and a second pressing element. Fitting can be engaged and held by the first pressing element and the second pressing element. The first pressing element and the second pressing element are attached to the first tubular element and the second tubular element defining a plier. The first tubular element and the second tubular element are close to couple the fitting on the first pressing element and the second pressing element together.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A press to fit pipe connector tool comprising:
 a handle assembly, wherein said handle includes a first tubular element, a second tubular element, wherein said first tubular element and said second tubular element include a handle portion, wherein said handle portion is in a distal end of said first tubular element and said second tubular element; 
 a transmission mechanism assembly, wherein said transmission mechanism assembly includes a transmission mechanism with a gearbox; and 
 a pressing assembly including a first pressing element and a second pressing element, wherein the first pressing element is a first plier member having a plier head, a first operating element and a second operating element, wherein said first operating element and said second operating element are bar members made of metal, wherein the first operating element and the second operating element are connected to the transmission mechanism, said gearbox of the transmission mechanism transmits movement of the first tubular element and the second tubular element to the first pressing element to open the plier head, wherein the second pressing element has a second pressing head made of metal, said second pressing head has a circular opening to hold a pipe. 
 
     
     
       2. A press to fit pipe connector tool consisting of:
 a handle assembly, wherein said handle includes a first tubular element, a second tubular element, wherein said first tubular element and said second tubular element include a handle portion, said handle portion is in a distal end of said first tubular element and said second tubular element; 
 a transmission mechanism assembly, wherein said transmission mechanism assembly includes a transmission mechanism with a gearbox; and 
 a pressing assembly including a first pressing element and a second pressing element, wherein the first pressing element is a first plier member having a plier head, a first operating element and a second operating element, wherein said first operating element and said second operating element are bar members made of metal, wherein the first operating element and the second operating element are connected to the transmission mechanism, said gearbox of the transmission mechanism transmits movement of the first tubular element and the second tubular element to the first pressing element to open and/or close the plier head, wherein the second pressing element has a second pressing head made of metal, said second pressing head has a circular opening to hold a pipe.
